Does anyone know when the complete translation of the Ōjōyōshū will be published by the BDK?

Super news Tatsuo, thanks for posting it, hmm I had no idea BDK was even translating it! You might be interested in Genshin's Esoteric Contemplation of Amida which I cross-posted here with Rev. Jikai's (he translated it) permission.

Thank you for posting the link! I read the original translation but not the revised translation yet.

Yes you are probably right. It wouldn't be too popular for a Western audience but luckily the BDK doesn't select according to popularity. For any Pure Land Buddhist as well as for scholars it should be interesting though due to its importance for the development of an independent Pure Land school by Honen Shonin and for making Pure Land popular in medieval Japan - mostly because of those two chapters about hell and the Pure Land.

This isn't Genshin, but seems the best place to post and as it relates to Genshin's esoteric Pure Land . An M.A. thesis focusing on the Shingon priest Kakuban's esoteric Pure Land practice has been published and is freely downloadable.https://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/b ... s_2013.pdf

it's wonderfully interesting and gives a real look at what a rich varied tradition of Pure Land there was (and is) before the single practice schools broke off and captured the mainstream understanding of Pure Land.
